Checking
licences
Homeowners planning
renovations are being
advised to make sure
they use properly regis-
tered tradespeople.
The Plumbers, Gasfit-
ters and Drainlayers
Board, which regulates
the industry, is calling
on Auckland home
owners to ask plumbers,
gasfitters and drain-
layers for their licences
to ensure they are auth-
orised to do the work.
Board chief executive
Max Pedersen says it is
illegal for anyone to do
plumbing, gasfitting and
drainlaying unless auth-
orised by the board.
We're
reminding
homeowners not to risk
their family's health and
safety or their insurance
by hiring unauthorised
tradespeople to under-
take work,'' he says.
Unlicensed plumbers,
gasfitters and drain-
layers potentially place
consumers in harm's way
with their poor skills.
New Zealanders have
the right to have confi-
dence that any plumb-
ing, gasfitting or drain-
laying service provided
to them is safe and com-
pliant.''
Anyone carrying out
plumbing, gasfitting and
drainlaying must be able
to produce their licence
card if asked.
Consumers can also
check to see if a plumber,
gasfitter or tradesperson
is authorised to carry out
the work by visiting
pgdb.co.nz.

Slower pace: An artist's impression of how a rejuvenated,
pedestrian-friendly Halsey St will look following works.
Street revamp starts
Work on the next stage of
development at Wynyard
Quarter is set to begin in
early February with the
rejuvenation of Halsey and
Daldy streets.
The now slightly bleak
vehicle thoroughfares will
be transformed into
pedestrian-friendly areas
with slower vehicle-speed
limits, wider footpaths,
green spaces and street
furniture.
Following this work
contractors will move their
focus to the streets
between Fanshawe and
Pakenham streets.
The work has been
budgeted at $29 million.
Waterfront Auckland
chief executive John
Dalzell says the next
stages will improve the
connections from north to
south.
''Both Daldy and Halsey
streets will be transformed
progressively over the next
two years into vibrant,
engaging spaces that will
further draw people into
the area along with a more
managed and sustainable
transport strategy that
promotes walking and
cycling,'' he says.
Staging the work and
meeting drainage
requirements will make for
a complex task.
The work will be done by
Hawkins Open Spaces, a
division of Hawkins
Infrastructure.
The Halsey and Daldy
streets stage of the
project is expected to be
completed by 2014.
